Well happy Wednesday everyone!
I hope you are all having a good week, and to get you over the hump I have a new recipe for you: Piña Colada Oatmeal! I was actually quite proud of myself for coming up with this one. I had bought some frozen pineapple from Trader Joe’s last week and I always add coconut oil to my oats, so somehow I put two and two together and BAM! It was a winner!
And no, there is no rum in this recpe… But I won’t judge you if you add some.
By the way, I’m linking up this recipe to Jenn’s What I Ate Wednesday! If you’re new to WIAW then head on over to her blog and see what it’s all about!
Piña Colada Oatmeal:
Ingredients:
1/3-1/2 cup oatmeal
1/3-1/2 cup milk of choice
1/2 cup water
1 egg
1 packet Stevia
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup pineapple chunks, chopped
1/2 banana, sliced
1/2 T coconut oil (topping)
1 T almond butter (topping)
1-2 T shredded coconut (topping)
Directions:
First, place all dry ingredients in a small sauce pan. Add water, milk and vanilla, turn on heat and allow to simmer. Mix in pineapple and banana. Stir occasionally. Once the oatmeal is near cooked, add your egg (or egg whites, or protein powder) and stir to make sure the egg is mixed in. Allow to cook a minute or two longer until oatmeal reaches desired consistency. Top with shredded coconut, coconut oil and almond butter!
And here it is all packed up and brought to work! Not quite as pretty as my nice bowl and wood table…
And I realize What I Ate Wednesday should show more than just my breakfast, but I haven’t had a chance to put together a good post about my experience with Cook Smarts! (<– affiliate link!) But here’s a sneak peak…
Taco Salad! YUM! And so easy.
What’s the weirdest breakfast concoction you’ve made?
What are you having for lunch today?
What’s your favorite fruit right now?
love the pina colada oatmeal idea!!
Yum! Pina colada oatmeal sounds so good!
so you’re gonna come make this for me along with a beach setting right?
Omg this looks amazing!
Such a good idea! I have never thought of putting pineapple into my oatmeal before, very creative!
Okay, so you may or may not have just given me the idea I needed to break out of my morning oat routine. This sounds perfect. Frozen pineapple isn’t easy to find over here so I’d have to go with canned but I figure as long as I don’t use fresh I should be oaky?
I love oatmeal and taco salad! Though I would have never thought to put pineapple in my oatmeal..I bet that mixed with the coconut is delicious! Always looking for new ways to have my morning oatmeal.
I’m always looking for new additions to my oatmeal. I love pina coloada’s so I’ll definitely be making this.
